Cwhite138 Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Is there anything shocking in that video? Toyota is rampping up eletricl vehicle development but isn't abandoning hydrogen. The new ceo has said multiple times they a pivoting to eletric in a big way.. I couldn't watch the video because narration and recycled content....

Carlos Danger Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 I think Toyota is going to have a hard time selling electric or hybrid Hilux pickup trucks to third world hell hole military groups which seems to be a key market for them.

In normal driving the Escalade 8-11mpg and the S6 14mpg. On the highway with the cruise set and never hitting the gas pedal just over 20 and just over 30 respectively....but that never happens as it is really hard to not stomp on the fun pedal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
